This levelled Japanese reader introduces basic Japanese vocabulary through traditional Japanese kites and the Japanese zodiac animals. It is suitable for beginner Japanese learners and students who can read hiragana.

Students develop reading confidence through repetitive language patterns, predictable texts, and strong visual support from authentic photographs.

The book introduces an aspect of traditional Japanese culture while encouraging learners to recognise familiar vocabulary, enjoy successful reading, and build confidence through predictable language patterns.

Note from the author:

Traditional Japanese kites have been enjoyed for centuries and are often decorated with colourful designs inspired by animals, heroes, and good fortune. In this book, you will discover beautiful kites created by kite expert Yoshio Sakazawa from Utsunomiya City, Japan. Yoshio not only makes traditional kites by hand but also shares this cultural tradition by teaching children through schools and kite clubs.

I hope you enjoy discovering the beauty of traditional Japanese kites and the Japanese zodiac animals that proudly fly across the skies of Japan.
